Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc has officially signed a new multi-year contract extension with The Prancing Horse ahead of this weekend’s Monaco GP – his home grand prix in Monte Carlo.
After a solid start to the season, with Leclerc only third in the championship – not far behind the leader Kimi Antonelli – the Monegasque and the Scuderia decided to continue the journey together.
The contract length for Leclerc has not been officially communicated by the team, as Ferrari only mentioned “a new deal” in his contract extension.
The love story between Leclerc and Ferrari continues, with the dream of bringing the Scuderia back to the top.
The announcement
The announcement came as a surprise on the official Scuderia Ferrari Instagram page: “We are delighted to confirm that Charles Leclerc has agreed a new deal with Scuderia Ferrari HP.”
Ferrari posted on its Instagram page, “Sempre Rosso,” which translates to “Always Red.”
The Moneguasque has also posted an announcement on his social media page, with a magnificent video and love letter to the team and fans of the red.
“Being a Ferrari driver is a privilege and a responsibility that I will never take for granted,” Leclerc mentions in his Instagram post.
“I’ll continue to give absolutely everything I have to bring this team back to where it belongs, at the very top, for everyone in Maranello, and above all for the tifosi, whose passion is the heartbeat of this Scuderia.
“The dream is still alive, and I’m proud to continue chasing it together with you.”
